あなたのことをおしえて

• By: キタニタツヤ

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

あなたのことをおしえて

Tell me about yourself

好きな音楽とか、嫌いな人とか

Like what kind of music you love, or who you hate

あなたの未来を見せて

Show me your future

守りたいもの、抗いたいこと

What you want to protect, and what you want to fight against

36度の受動態が仮面の下で泣いている

A 36-degree passive voice is crying beneath the mask

あなたはもう何も差し出さなくてもいいと思うよ

I don't think you need to offer anything anymore

ささやかでも世界を憎むことを許してあげよう

I'll allow you to hate the world, even if just a little

だから、

So,

どうか生きて、笑って、泣いて

Please, just live, laugh, and cry

少しでも多く

As much as possible

胸の奥、眠っている壮大なストーリー

The grand story sleeping deep within your heart

僕に見せてくれ

Show it to me

ありったけの悲しみ全部

All of the sorrow you have

この歌に蒔いた

Sown in this song

水を遣って、その涙で

Water it, with your tears

あなたのことをおしえて

Tell me about yourself

あなたの好きな言葉で

In your favorite words

どうか生きて、笑って、泣いて

Please, just live, laugh, and cry

少しでも多く

As much as possible

胸の奥、眠っている壮大なストーリー

The grand story sleeping deep within your heart

僕に見せてくれ

Show it to me

ありったけの悲しみ全部

All of the sorrow you have

この歌に蒔いた

Sown in this song

優しさを明け渡し奪われてきた

You've surrendered your kindness and had it stolen

あなたにはわかるでしょう？

You understand, don't you?

あなたの歌をきかせて

Let me hear your song

失くさないように抱えている

Holding onto it so you don't lose it

秘密をおしえて

Tell me your secrets

あなたの気持ちを分けて

Share your feelings with me

僕の悲しみを育てて、その涙で

Nurture my sadness, with your tears
